Collaborations between companies are frequent and also that a kind of improvement in a video game is given by a code that it is possible to exchange in our own console. Well, something like this happened with Activision, Call of Duty and a brand that sells bags of cecina in the United States, which seemed like a good idea for specific enclaves, has become a virtually global problem that affects everywhere.
The XP chaos of Call of Duty
If you regularly play multiplayer Call of Duty Surely you know those double XP events in which it is easier to level up. These are long-awaited events for players, which usually take place on weekends, and for each achievement we get in the game, or victory, we pocketed a fair amount of extra experience.
Now imagine that the corner store gives you with each bag of jerky a code that we can redeem for both PlayStation and Xbox and which has the same effect for a limited time from the moment we install it. Do you know what happens from there? Well, chaos is unleashed and what seemed like a good idea has focused on the buyers of Jack Link’s Pork Strips, it has become a global problem It affects almost everyone.
Indeed, the buyers of these bags realize that many of the codes they obtain with the promotion are unusable from the moment they receive them from the establishment itself, therefore someone redeemed them before them
black market for keys
The problem that is generated is that someone takes these codes and before they reach the users they sell them online so those who come to the store with the idea of gaining experience double the time in it Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 they stay with a nose span. That’s why the community has started sharing information about which places serve keys that seem to be redeemable and which ones seem to have them all burned.
And what will Activision do? On paper, there’s not much you can do because the whole problem seems to be located at the manufacturer itself of these bags of cecina, who does not keep enough security measures to ensure that these keys are not manipulated before they are put up for sale, that everything points to workers who have seen a gold mine to obtain an extra their regular salary.
Even so, given the promotion disaster, surely Activision could nip the collaboration in the bud, mark these codes as invalid and urge the dry bag producer to start from scratch by ensuring that these codes reach their legitimate users. So just in case that’s the decision Americans make, you better not buy a double XP code if you see it somewhere on the internet, do you think?
